2. SOT Wesley Reid Scantlin (lead singer) - on what 'Control' is about - "Control is a song, it is just your basic song about a relationship, you get involved with one person in the beginning and then 6, 7 months later they are a different person and they are treating you kind of cruddy and then it is kind of about letting go of that person and moving on with your life. "

4. SOT Wesley Reid Scantlin - on the video - " We shot the video in Jacksonville Florida and Fred Durst directed it and it is kind of ironic because when I was there in Jacksville the first day day and it was 110 degrees out and we were on some old abandoned highway and he told me that I was going to be kicked out of my girlfriend's car on the way to a gig, and I was like wow man, that has actually happened to me. I wasn't on the way to a gig but I have been kicked out of a girlfriend's car."

And we plan to continue to tour , and continue to write new material and then once we get a chance to go back into the studio, we are going to go back in to record another album and it shouldn't be too hard."

GRUNGE-METAL ROCKERS COME CLEAN ON THE SECRET OF THEIR SUCCESS

With a supporter like Fred Durst, Kansas City-based band Puddle of Mudd have long been destined for the top of the rock heap.

Not only has the Limp Bizkit frontman championed the group on their way to chart success, he's also directed the video to "Control" - the single taken from their top-selling album "Come Clean".

Frontman Wesley Reid Scantlin says the song's about letting go and moving on - something he's learnt to do on the long path to success.

Considered too mainstream to be labelled nu-metal and too modern-sounding to be allied with grunge, Puddle Of Mudd share elements of both genres.

The original line-up was formed in 1993 around Scantlin - they named themselves after a rehearsal room next to a river which became a swamp overnight after a flood.

The band got their big break when Scantlin went to a concert on Korn's Family Values tour.

The singer passed his band's demo tape to a security guard during Limp Bizkit's set, requesting that his tape be passed to the band's singer Fred Durst.

The rapper liked what he heard and contacted Scantlin who had just parted ways with the rest of the group.

Even the phone call from Durst failed to persuade the musicians to re-form, but Durst flew Scantlin over to Los Angeles, where he gathered a new line-up.

Recruiting Paul Phillips (guitar), Douglas Ardito (bass), and Greg Upchurch (drums), Scantlin and Durst negotiated a contract with the Limp Bizkit frontman's own Flawless label and began recording sessions for an album.

The result, 2001's Come Clean, replicated the success of Durst's other discoveries, Staind, selling over 100,000 copies in a matter of weeks.

Fans won't have to wait long for the next instalment - Scantlin says the band has been penning new material over the last few months and will soon be back in the studio.

And they've just been announced as the support act for Korn's first U.S. tour in two years beginning June 20.
